Havelte, Westerveld
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Leeuwerikweg sits in a quiet part of Havelte, surrounded by greenery. With 242 m² of living space and an A++ energy label, it is both roomy and efficient. The asking price of €789,000 is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €645,700, which reflects the larger floor area and top energy rating. For context, detached houses in Westerveld are scarce, so this listing stands out.
Havelte is a small village where opinions vary. One resident says: "Nice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature. Really nice to live." Another calls it "A lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance." But a third review paints a different picture: "Petty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue... a self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country." Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.2 out of 10. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many residents over 45, and most homes are owner-occupied. For more on the area, see municipality Westerveld.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just over a kilometre away, a ten-minute walk. There are two primary schools within walking distance: OBS De Bosrank (about a ten-minute walk) and Oosterveldschool (a couple of streets away). The village centre has a restaurant and a library just around the corner. Nature is on your doorstep, with a park or public garden within a few minutes' walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van Ditshuizen Makelaardij O.G. B.V.

Auto-translated to English by AIPetty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue. Bullying culture. Excluding those who think differently. If you're an outsider, not 'working-class' enough, if your social position is very low, you're a target. Harsh, somewhat hateful culture. Two groups: the golf club elite and the Boer and Burger supporters. I belong to neither and therefore find no connection. I find the alcohol consumption and the frequent violence striking. Things that are overlooked. Their own customs, own rules, own laws. A self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country. They only respect rules if they can use them to muzzle people they don't like. And those rules never apply to them. A very strange culture. After 11 years, I still marvel at it every day. The municipality only stands up for its own kind. Very authoritarian, biased and corrupt. Corrupt: cronyism and conflicts of interest. Building one-sided dossiers against people they don't like. As for nature: everything is being demolished, for the past 10 years. The forests have been thinned out, stripped for financial gain. Facilities: without a car you're far from everything and the bus sometimes doesn't run at all. So you stand at the bus stop for an hour waiting for the next one. I sometimes think of Pommetje Horlepiep here.

About Leeuwerikweg 38, Havelte
The asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €645,700, but the home is also 27% larger than the average (242 m² vs 190 m²) and has an A++ energy label, which is rare in Havelte. Given these features, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space and efficiency.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs. In Havelte, only 12.5% of homes for sale have label A+ or better, so this is a standout feature.
The plot is 660 m².
Havelte has a mix of ages, with about a third of households having children. There are two primary schools within walking distance and a swimming pool nearby. Some residents praise the quiet, nature-oriented atmosphere, while others mention a closed community culture.
The nearest train station is 9.5 km away, so a car or bus is needed for rail connections. The bus service can be infrequent, as noted by one resident.
Albert Heijn is about 1.3 km away, a ten-minute walk. Other supermarkets like PLUS are further out, around 6.6 km or more, so daily shopping is best done at the local Albert Heijn.
